She smiled casually and took a bite. "This isn't something from here!"
The little princess, seeing that the emperor was eating without any qualms over what the palace maid had just said.
She chuckled, covering her mouth, her laughter mischievous as if she were a thief.
"I stole it from the imperial kitchen. They have just brought in plums to make pastries that I have never tasted before!"
At this, Lu Ming's expression hardened: "You are a princess, how could you steal something?"
"..." The princess seemed utterly unafraid of the emperor's majesty and cheerfully explained herself.
"I misspoke! The imperial kitchen is ours to begin with, I just rightfully took what I wanted!"
Th emperor's lips curled into a smile: "That's more like it!" He affectionately tousled her hair.
"You can ask for anything you desire. Remember, you're a princess, no longer a commoner. No one can command you, except for me!"
"..." The princess nodded her head emphatically.
